Care & tips for the Pachira Aquatica - 45 cm

The Pachira Aquatica is an easy houseplant that asks very little of you. It likes a stable spot and would rather not be moved too often. Turn it a little now and then so it keeps growing nice and straight. This plant is known for its braided trunk and its air-purifying qualities.

How much water does the Pachira Aquatica - 45 cm need?

Frequently asked questions about the Pachira

How often should I water my money tree?

Water your money tree about once every three weeks. The Pachira Aquatica stores moisture in its trunk and can therefore go without extra water for longer periods of time. Always check that the top layer of potting soil feels dry before watering. In winter, you can water even less often, because the plant grows less actively and consumes less moisture.

Is the money tree safe for pets and children?

Ingestion of the plant may cause mild stomach upset and vomiting. The plant can therefore be slightly toxic if your pet nibbles on it. Keep it out of reach of young children or curious pets to prevent unwanted consumption. The plant is not dangerous to touch.

Can my money tree be placed in direct sunlight?

No, the money tree thrives best in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh midday sunlight.
Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light slows growth and can cause leaf loss. A window facing east or west, slightly out of direct sunlight, is ideal.

Why does my money tree have yellow leaves, or why are they falling off?

Yellow leaves or leaf drop can be caused by overwatering, overly wet potting soil, or poorly drained soil.

Check whether the pot has drainage, allow the soil to dry out partially before watering again, and make sure the plant is not in a draughty or cold spot.

How tall can a Pachira grow indoors?

In domestic conditions, the money tree can often grow to a height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters, depending on the space and care it receives.

What is the best potting soil for a Pachira?

Use a well-drained, airy potting soil that does not remain constantly wet, for example a mix containing sand.
Ensure that the pot has drainage holes so that excess water can drain away, as standing water in the pot is a major risk factor for root rot.

Why are the tips of the leaves turning brown or dry?

Brown or dry leaf tips often indicate excessively dry air or inconsistent watering, as the plant requires slightly higher humidity.
You can increase the humidity by regularly misting the leaves or placing the pot on a tray filled with water and hydro granules. Also, avoid placing it directly near a heater or cold draft.
